Timeline
========
We need a meta-PEP for the Python 3000 timeline. At this moment, I
hope to have a first alpha release out sometime in 2007; it may take
another year after that (or more) before the first proper release,
named Python 3.0.
I no longer think we need a meta-PEP for the Python 3000 timeline;
instead, here's my current proposal. I hope to have a first alpha
release (3.0a1) out in the first half of 2007; it should take no more
than a year from then before the first proper release, named Python
3.0. I would like all PEPs for features going into Python 3000 to be
submitted by the end of April 2007 (allowing time for discussion and
implementation after the initial submission).
I expect that there will be parallel Python 2.x and 3.x releases for
some time; the Python 2.x releases will continue for a longer time

continued 2.x support, acceptance and stability of 3.0, and volunteer
stamina.
It's quite possible that Python 3.1 and 3.2 will be released much
sooner after 3.0 than has been customary for the 2.x series. The 3.x
release pattern will stabilize once the community is happy with 3.x.
